Stream: Lil Silk, “Rapper”

"Rapper" is the latest from young Atlanta absurdist Lil Silk, who's been releasing a steady stream of hyper, playful yelp-raps over the past few months. It's probably the most meta rap song of the year, with Silk screeching Lil Silk's a rapper! (I'm a rapper!) on the hook. In between bars, he giggles hysterically like the world's most stoned valley girl. Right at home with Atlanta's other experimental yet technically proficient goofballs, it feels like he's in the exact right place at the exact right time.
